[edit] Overview
Before Chungking began Sean Hennessey was making music in his basement with his friend James Stephenson. When they began looking for a vocalist they discovered Hennessey's then girlfriend Jessie Banks, could sing. The band spent some time writing music and demoing songs and eventually demo's made their way to Japan. A Tokyo DJ cut some of their demo CD onto 12" records and one of those records landed in the hands of the owner of Tummy Touch Records with the Japanese label reading "beautiful Chungking music" (Where the band eventually got its name). He tracked the band down and talked the into finishing their album. Their first album We Travel Fast was released on Tummy Touch records in 2003. [1][2]
